(Continued.) 


They went upstairs, in the dusk, by 
a-stecp staircase, closed at the head} 
and foot by doors. They emerged} 
out of the darkness of the staircase! 
into an upper cerridosm from the! 
windows of which they saw only the 
mist. The high wall surrounding 
the farm steading shut out nearly all/ 
the world. But it was lighter in tlie 
corridor, and the rainy sky seemed 
to be breaking up into a stormy af- 
terglow. 

Upstairs there were four rooms; 
three small and bare, and with just 
enough room for a narrow iron bed; 
and a washstand. A shelf, jutting} 
out from the walls, was evidently ig 
tended to. be used as a dressing table, 
since above each hung a square mir- 
ror in a bamboo framc. Pegs along 
the walls were all there was in the 
way of wardrobe accommodation. 

Kate Bartlett looked into each of 
the little rooms, closed the door, and 
went on. Opening the fourth door, 
she paused. 

“This will be for you and me, my 
lamb,” she said, and stood back to 
allow Dolly to pass. 

The fourth room had two windows 
—one looking out of the gable end 
of the house, overlooking a garden, 
full of weeds with a few giant cab- 
bage stalks among them; the other 
overlooking the courtyard below. The 
luxury of the room after the others 
was startling. There was a square 
four-poster bed of satin. wood and 
gilding. It was draped with curtains 
of rose-colored damask. There was 
a gilt couch covered with the same 
damask, and chairs gilt and rose-col- 
ored stood about on a rose-colored 
carpet. . 

The bed stood in gn alcove; and 
the room was furnished very much 
as a sitting room; mirrors one the 
wall with candle brackets 


of the First Empire, a spindle-shank- 
ed desk, by the wall; a minute book- 
ease in the corner showed the backs 
of gaily-bound books, 

Afi amazing room to find in 
place of the sort; but Mrs, Bartlet 
did-not seem surprised. She went 
across the room and opened a door 
ov the opposite side, It led into a 
dressing room lit only by a_ half- 
moon window, high up. There were 
the arrangements for washing; the 
dressing table, with its top of rouge 
marble and its delicate china. A few 
feminine trifles were on the dressing 
table—a scent bottle, a cut glass 
powder box. On the floor lay a 
scrap of blue ribbon, such ribbon as 
tsight have tied a chocolate box. 

She looked about and her face was 
terrible, as though she saw something 
not to be spoken of, She picked up 
the blue ribbon between her fingers 
aud thumb, holding it away from 
her, as though it were poisonous. 

“Tt smells of musk,” she said. “The 
whole place smells of it. It is a 
aa smel}l.”’ 

“Yes” said Dolly, in a low voice, 
“it makes me feel faint. The win- 
dows are all shut.” 

Kate Bartlett pushed at a window, 
She could not move it; it was nail- 
ed down. An attempt to open it at 
the top was more successful, It came 
down a few inches, letting the wet 
air into the room, 

“Everything is damp, I daresay,” 
she said, going over and beginning to 
strin the bed, which was covered with 
a rose silk eiderdown. “I’H light a 
fire. J see there is one set in the 
grate; but goodness how long it is 
there, and the sticks mouldy with 
damp. Stay where you are, my pet 
child, while I run down and look for 
some kindiing wood. Yet | would- 
n't sav there wasn’t someone to look 
after this and air it, else it would 
be worse than it is.” 

She went downstairs, found the 
living room’empty, but the fire al- 
ready lit and-the kettle on. She 
took a handful of the kindling wood 
which lay inside the fender, and a 
hox of matches, and returned to the 
bedroom where Dolly was sitting on 
the sofa, making no attempt to take 
off her out door things. 

“TI don't like this place, Kate,” she 
said,, with a shiver. “I Keep looking 
ever my shoulder thinking there is 
someone there. The air is very cold, 
is it not? And suffocating as well.” 

“T'll have the fire lit up in a few 
‘minutes. Be patient 2 little, my 
honey, and you'll see how your old 


are)

power over ts, 
God.” 

She was down on her knees, blow- 
ing the kindling wood to a, flame, 
making a bellows of her breath. The 
fuel in the grate was damp, and it 
took some time and pains to make 
it catch, but at last it caught. A 
flame sprang up, sending its golden 
tongue into the grey and shadowy 
room, driving a whole troop of quecr 
mocking sprites before it. 

Dolly came to her side. 


“Oh Kate,” she said,.“why am I 
here? ’ What can Mr. Meyrick be 
thinking about us? The ‘suspense 
will kill him. Why did you let that 
man take me away to this horrible 
place—that horrible man? What is 
the meaning of it all?” 

“Don’t blame me, “ny dearic,” said 
the woman humbly, “I followed as 
fast as I coujd. No harm will befall 
yon when I’m with you, 


hosts out with 
hey have no 
for we belong to 


Jand and the Squire. Sure, I didn’t 
know what to do. I could have cal- 


\led in the police; I thought of going 


to the captain on the boat; there 
were plenty of English people on 
the.strects today. My poor thoughts 
were all in a tangle and a trouble. 
I felt I must get you back quietly, 
my own way, so that people won't 
be given the chance of talking.” 

“Oh,” said the -girl slowly, with a 
bewildered movement of her hands 
to her forehead, “they might think 
I went of my own free will! How 
could they, seeing what Mr. Meyrick 
is? No girl would want to 
him, would they, Kate?” 

“They would not, acushla. But we 
won't give the bad people a chance 
ef talking. We'll steal back quietly 
as we came. I'll get a note out to 
Mr. Meyrick to let him know where 
we are. He'll come to us if we can’t 
get out ourselves. You're not afraid 
of him, surely, jewel?” 

“No,, indeed,” said the girl, with 
sudden fervor. “I am not at all 
afraid of him. JI trust him too com- 
pletely. He would be dreadfully sor- 
ry for us.” 

“Ah that’s right, that’s right! 
is a good man, and no mistake. If 
many men were like him earth 
would be a heaven for poor women, 
where often enough now ‘tis hell, He 
knows how to be good to a woman, 
God bless him!” : 

The fire burned up brightly, while 

the 
them 
to air before the fire. Afterwards 
she went downstairs and found tea 
‘set out on the table and the kettle 
boiling. No sign of Cooper any- 
where. He must have gone in search 
of the things they would need. 

She made the tea, brought a cup 
to Dolly, and coaxed her to drink it. 
The girl by this time looked terribly 
fatigued. When the bed was made 
she was induced to go to bed, while 
she protested that she wanted to es- 
cape now, tonight, to get to -where 
there were English people, and put 
herself under their protection. The 
dark was by this time in the room. 

Kate Bartlett soothed her as she 
would a-tired child. Sure, what 
would they be doing this time of the 
night, in the mist and the darkness! 
‘Tis maybe going over the cliffs they 
would be, Miss Dolly was to sleep 
and be rested before tomorrow. To- 
morrow she would see what would 
happen. The Squire was not going 
to be in pain longer than Kate could 
help. 

Having ascertained that Dolly 
slept, she went out of the reom, tak- 
ing the tray with her. The key was 
in the door, She locked the door 
and put the key in her pocket. She 
went downstairs, The lamp had 
been lit, but it spluttered and show- 
ed signs of going out. She found a 
couple of candles in the sconces be- 
fore a gilt mirror, lit them, and the 
room was faintly, illuminated. She 
found another candle in a china can- 
diestick, and by “its help she explored

place depressed her. She had beén

gendarmes at the station; that she

One Reason Why .Prices Are Ad- 
vanced on the Home Market 


One of the very obvious reasons 
why the price of eggs has been in- 
cfeasingly high in Canada sin¢e the 
outbreak of war three years ago is 
that instead of keeping all her eggs 
at home, as was practically the case 
in 1914, Canada has been exporting 
large consignments of eggs to, Eng- 
laid, © Formerly. Great: Britain got 
fifty per cent, of her eggs from Rus- 
Sia, but that source of supply was 
almost completely cut off, and the 
void has been filled as far as possi- 
ble by eggs from Canada and the 
United States, Today Canadian eggs 
occupy a strong position in the Brit- 
ish market. The question which the 
Canadian trade commissioner in Liv- 

asks_is whether or not

Canada’s Glory 
In all the trials and sufferings of 
the war it is a source of constant 
consolation and pride to the people 
of this country that the states of 
Great Britain and their soldiers. have 
shown such unflinching determination 
and valor in the struggle. We well 
know the bitter sacrifices which Can- 
ada has made, The Ypres salient and 
Vimy Ridge have been watered with 
her best blood, as with ours, In 
death, as through all the years of 
their state’s existence, her sons have 
been at our side. € are grate- 
ful to them and to ¥.—London

marketing, lower production costs, 
and by a natural advantage of geo- 
praphical situation, had brought 
Prices to a level that ceased to hold 
out special attractions to the ship- 
per.” ; 

“The war had an immediate effect 
upon these supplies, the total imports 
dropping from 21,579,950 great hun- 
dreds in 1913 to 17,904,805 in 1914, 
10,246,926 in 1915 and .6,606,411 in 
1916. Russian eggs in particular, 
which had furnished over fifty per 
cent. of the totaL_in 1913 dropped 
from 11,453,277. great” “hundreds in 
1913 to 6,870,827 in 1914; 3,074,156 
in 1915 and 734,525 or eleven per 
‘cent. of the total in 1916. This de- 
crease in’ supplies from the continent 
resulted naturally, in producing high 
prices and a _ strong demand for 
transatlantic eggs,, and the greatly 
increased production of Canadian 
eggs has enabled our shippers to take 
full advantage of the situation. In 
1914 Canadian egg imports inio this 
country were 361,173 great hundreds, 
in 1914, 916,326 and in 1916, 1,431- 
778... *- 

“Considerable complaint was made 
of the pack of eggs sent forward in 
1914, and the resulting condition in 
which the product reached the mar- 
ket. These initial disadvantages, how- 
ever, have been largely overcome by 
the shippers and at the present time 
Canadian eggs occupy a very satis- 
factory position in the eyes of — the 
trade. They are vory attractively 

acked, clean and of the desired 
Cdlor, of good size and weight, and 
while they must necessarily rank be- 
low Danish and Irish fresh eggs, 
they are generally superior to all but 
the best grades of Russian eggs, es- 
pecially as regards size and appear- 
ance, They always,command a pre- 
mium of from one to two. shillings 
per case over American eggs.” 


Better Things 


Let it be said once for all that It fs 
better for both body and soul to be 
obliged to go hungry sometimes than 
to be full always; it is wholesomer to 
be weary frequently from hard work 
than to keep on a dead level of com- 
fort, or fo know weariness only from 
the spinning dance and the daily 
pleasure; it is cleaner to be dusty and 
bathed im the dust and sweat of bat- 
tle than to be so sheltered as not to 
know the meaning of a hand-to-hand 
conflict with a real problem or fierce 
temptation; it is grander to break the 
shaekles of exclusiveness and walk 
free in the dingy city of social un- 
popularity than to be the idol of men 
and women who do not count for, 
but rather against, the progress of 
the race.—Bishop Brent, 


Indian Funeral Impressive Sight 

One of the mont remarkable burial 
services ever held on an European 
battlefield is described by the aaa 
of a western Ontario battalion, . It 
was that of an Indian killed by a 
bomb. Sixty 
an Indian lieutenant, attended the

Helping Hoover 


Save The Food. 


Six Big Requests Made of the Amer. 


ican Pgople 


The United States™is takin rompt 
and vigorous steps hirotieple * en food: 


control committee to get in 
with the people with a view to 


ing the food conservation’ move- 


touch 
mak- 


ment one of individual appeal, -To 
do this the committee is entering into 


a campaign of national 
upon the individual the 


extent urging 
necessity. of 


co-operation with the efforts the gov- 


ernment is making along these lines. 


To bring about concerted action 


every organization member of the 


chamber of commerce of the United 


States, is asked—in a war bulletin 


issued by the national chamber com- 


inittee co-operating with the council 
cf national defense—to get , behind 
Herbert Hoover's six big requests. 
These are to cat one. meatless meal 
once a day; to eat beef, mutton or 
perk not more than once. a day; to 
economize in the use of butter; to 
cut the daily allowance of sugar iw 
tea or coffee or in other: ways; to 
eat more vegetables, fruit and fish 
and‘to urge in the home or the 
restaurants frequented, the neces- 
sity of economy. 


However good may be the indi- 
vidual attention, the bulletin de- 
clares, these requests are not going 
to be lived up on any large scale 
unless men and women take concer- 
ted action. To assist in bringing this 
about every organization member of 
the chamber is asked to make and 
follow up among its members — the 
three requests made below of indi- 
vidual members and to. send the 
names of these committees to the 
national chamber committee, | of 
which Waddill Catchings is chair- 
nian. The organizations are asked to 
Fromote in any possible way the ac- 
tual continued observance- in each 
community of the six requests made 
by Mr. Hoover, 


Each individual member. is requests 


1. To undertake to live up to the 
above SIX requests and .to ask his 
friends and employes to do so. 

2. To ask clubs and associations 
of which he is a. member, to appoint 
a committee to assist in making gecn- 
eral the observance of the above six 
requests. 


3. To put into effect other wave 
and: means of making general in his 
community the gbservance of the 
above six requests, advising of any- 
thing he is able to do in this respect 
which might be of assistance in 
other, communities, 

All members are asked to inforud 
the committee what they are doing 
in connection with the requests. 
Members will then be informed what 
other organizations are doing, and it 
is said will receive frequent suggest- 
ions of their guidance. 


“The important problem of food 
conservation will not be solved with- 
out the concerted and continued co- 
operation of business men,” the bul- 
letin concludés. “The. national cham- 
ber is bringing this fact to -the at- 
tention of members at the request of 
Mr. Hooyer, and relies on them for 
a prompt response. Men who stay 
at home must help win the war. 
Mere is a chance for every man in 
the true spirit of American energy 
to put his individual shoulder to the 
wheel,”

The Scorners 


To scorn is their business, 
They scorn all the good— 
They scorn all the people 
In their own neighborhood; 


They scorn men of science. 
Of letters and law, 

And greet all improvements 
With smirks or guffaw. 


But this I have noticed 
Wherever their matched, 

The seats of the scornful 
Ave shiny and patched, 


Weare at war with the Huns 
aud we havea right to pat all 
persons under suspicion to the 
test. “If you are not with ss 
you are against us.” In this 
time of national peril every 
person in this country must. be 
measured by that test. 


It is about time that some- 
thing was done, in this country, 
with the price of foodstuffs, 

In -Great. Britain and the 
States certain prices and profits 
are fixed by the Food Control- 
lor and cannot be sold for ua 
higher price. All that has been 
done in this country re the food 
situation has been a little law 
restricting the use of certain 
foods, while the food-profiteers 
are permitted to charge any 
price they have a mind to.

Blamed On Spies 


Col. Kolotkoff Declares Agents ot} 
Autocracy Started Counter Rev. j 
olutionary Campaign = 


Causes of the Russfan debacle 
against the Germans and Austrians 
are’ set forth in a remarkable report 
by Colonel Kolotkoff to the council 
ot workmen and soldiers’ deputies. 
ihe responsibility is placed on activ- 
ity of ex-policemen, gendarmes and 
spics of Emperor Nicholas, who af- 
te1, being deprived of their liv Siikeod | 
were compulsorily sent to tlre front. | 

Until the end of June, says. Col, 
Kolotkoff, the soldiers on the west 
front were in excellent; fighting trim. 
here was an admirably completed 
plan to advance which would prok- 
ébly have led to the re-conquest o | 


Vilna: But. the police, wendrames 
and spies of the -autoctacy  con- 
sciously started an  anti-patriotic 
counter-revolutionary campaign, the 
first design of which was the disso- 
lution of the army, 

Large numbers managed to get 
elected to regimental company com- 
niittees, started a propaganda against 
war, inviting soldiers against officers, 
against -the provisional government's 
commissaries and even itneited vio- 
lence. Later they secrectaly distilled 
vodka and on the advance dosed sol- 
diers therewith. 

The Germans took advantage of 
these conditiohs and flooded the Rus- 
sian trenches with spices in Russian 
uniforms, Formerly the  reinforce- 
raent units arriving at the front were 
slightly weaker in number than the 
rolls showed, but now the units were 


sure in disguise of Germans. ‘The 
spies organized fraternization. Sol- 
diers born in the provinces ovectpicd 
by the enemy were allowed to visit 
their homes, and_ after a short ab-| 
sence returned to the trenches com- 
pictely Germanized in sentiment. 

The result was that before the at- 
tempt to over Vilna many soal- 
diers refused to pamicipate in the at- 


tack, 


Success 

The reason most of us fall short. 
of success is that we do not want it 
enotgh.— We do not care for it suf- 
ficiently to pay the price. The dif- 
ference between a good student and 
a poor one is not in brains half as 
often as in industry and in concen- 
tration. And the young man who is 
promoted in business twice a the 
other fellow's once, is generally the 


lis desk at five o'clock. Many a 
youth wishes he had the “luck” of 
scme successful. one, when all he 
needs is. a willingness to pay the 
price to duplicate that success and 
more.—Acton Free Press.

Plenty of Land Available 


Dr. Roche points out _ that there 
are, within ten miles of railways, and 
evailable for settlement, 4,100,000 
aeres in Alberta, 917,000 in | Saskat-

Not all of this is good agricultural 
land, of course, but it is apparent 
that fhece is plenty of good land in

ing for returned soldiers. If the land

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT, 
DOESN’T HURT A BIT 


No foolishness! Lift your corns 
and calluses off with fingers 
—It’s like magic! 


titanate 


Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns 
or any kind of a corn, can harmlessly 
be lifted right out with the fingers if 
you apply upon the corn a few drops 
of freezone, says a Cin@innati author- 
ity. 

For little cost one can get a small 
bottle of freezone at any drug, store, 
which will positively rid one’s feet of 
every corn or callus without pain. 

This simple drifg dries the moment 
it is applied and doeg not even irri- 


ltate the surrounding skin while ap- 


plying it or afterwards. 

‘Lhis announcement will interest 
many of our readers. If your drug- 
gist hasn’t any freezone tell him to 
surely get a small bottle for you from 
his wholesale drug house. =~ . 


Would Regain Control of Dye Trade 

From Switzerland comes a report 
that a great dye cartel, or industrial 
combine, has been. organized Mm Ger- 
many, with a capital. of $250,000,000, 
embracing all the manufacturers of 
dycstuffs in the country. The pur- 
pose of this organization is, after the 
war is over, to embark upon an ‘in- 
dustrial war in order to regain for 
Germany the trade in dyestuffs which 
she has lost. The attempt will prob- 
ably fail. In Britain, in France and 
in the United States the war has 
stimulated the -production of dye- 
stuffs, and this industry is so closely 
related to the produtcion of war ma- 
terial that the governments of these 
countries are detérmined not to per- 
mit Germany again to sectflre a mo- 
nopoly in that liue,

The whaling season off the coast 
of British Columbia is said to be 
coming along in fine /shape. At Vic- 
toria alone nearly three thousand 
| barrels of whale oil have been land: 
,ed. At Victoria the oil is transferred 
to tank cars and the cars carried to 
the mainland, on a carbarge. ‘The 
cars are sent to the East. 
1 The trade in whale meat, inaugu- 
rated a few months ago, is rather 
slow in developing, It is expected 
that better cold storage facilities’ will 
ltend to an increase of trade. Large 
| quantities of whale meat are being 
sent on from Victoria for delivery in 
the state of Washington. 

Large quantities of fertilizer will

British Improving Highways 
Fine, New Roads Follow Trail of hi i 
Ruin in France, XO 
Hundreds of miles of the smooth, x ; 
white macadam roads of northern 
France will remain for many years 
after the war as a real memorial to : 
the devastated towns the Germans ora ay 
left after their retreat in the spring. 
All over northern France the roads 
are being widened and resurfaced ‘ 
with stone and rubble taken from the , , ~ ‘| 
wrecked housés of Peronne, Albert, 


Arras and countless other ruined = 
towns and villages. : pea

the work of the German dynamiters 

has been so thorough that much of it = ; ;

The roads of northern France al- ; oa 


ways were excellent, but they never 3 
were better than today. The only 
complaint travelers had against- them ee 
in the old days was that the paved 
strip in the centre was too narrow, 
That complaint cannot be made after 
the British highway plans have been 
completed, for all the main highways

There is littl need anywhere in

of northern France mostly run as 
sttaight as an arrow’s flight. Most 
ofthe great highways were laid ont

importance always has kept primar-

"AY year ago we 4were thrilling to 
the first triumphs of our new armies. 
We had doubts—it can now be. con- 
: armies, not active 
niistrust, but sufficient misgivings 
to tinge our hopes. 

“In the course of the year these 
new armies of ours have taken ove 
70,000 prisoners, including 800 offi- 
cers. They have ‘captured 450 Ger- 
man guns, with more than,2,000 min- 
or pieces like machine guns and 
trench mortars. This is the capture, 
of a mighty army, an army of 10 
whole German divisions as now. con 
stituted, with all its equipment, Thes 
mew armics have had against them 
the whole military strength of the 
German empire—that is to say, of 
every division in the German armies. 

“It is these new armies which in 
the course of the year have taken 
all three ridges—namely, the’ Albert 
Ridge, the Vimy Ridge, and the Mes- 
sines Ridge—on which, from Ypres 
to the Somme, the Germans had 
drawn their lines.as being the strong- 
¢st positions to hold on this front, 
and enthroned on which’ they over- 
looked all our preparations for at- 
tack. No fortress in history pos- 
sessed one tithe of the defensive 
strength of any one of these ridges 
fortified as the Germans had fortified 
them, and held by the flower of the 
German army under the strictest. or- 
ders to fight to the death and not 
yield an inch of ground. 

“This is what our new armies have 
done in the course of the year.. Of 
course, they have won much ground, 
a hundred villages, and endless 
strongholds and redoubts. But geog- 
saphy js immaterial. The task. set 
them was not the winning of acres, 
but the breaking of the German aria- 
ies, which, with 40 yeays of prepar- 
ation, had thought themselves invin- 
cible and had proposed to overrun 
#1 Europe and-constitute themselves 
cictators of the world. 

“Without preparation and averse 
from war, the peaceful peoples of 
the British Empire, inspired by their 
cause and by virtue of the stuff that 
is in thém, have made themselves 
into a power which first held at bay, 
then made head: against, and now is 
wearing down the strength of Ger- 
many, and of the matter in which 
they have done it it is impossible 
to speak in adequate phrases. 

“Though the job be long or short 
the army has perfeet confidence that 
it is better, both man for man and 
as a fighting machine, than the ar- 
mies of Germany, and that but one 
end can come. It is a year with 
which we can be satisfied.””—Lon- 
don -Times. 


Looting Of Jerusalem” 
Hun 


Turks are Copying Their 
Masters in Palestine 


The situation in Palestine this 
summer is the most serious since the 
war began. A scheme for the loot- 
ing of Jerusalem is already being 
executed. ‘Throughout the country-

Burden of War 
Borne By British 


Raising Huge Sums by Taxation in 
Order to Carry on War 


Lord Robert Cecil, minister 

blockade, in a talk with the Associat- 
ed Press discussed Britain’ss war 
expenditure in hope that a better 
idea of its details might serve to 
show the people what a tremendou; 
war burden the people of Great Brit 
ain have. cheerfully shouldered.

to August 4, 1917, the British gov-

orpedo Nets Impracticable 


Found to Be Useless for Protection 
of Warships at Sea 


It was almost incyitable that in 
the search for some quickly impro- 
vised anti-submarine protection for 
merchant shipping, the mind should 
think of the placing of sotne obstruc- 
tion in the path of the torpedo, 
which would serve to arrest or ex- 
plode it at some distance from the 
ship. 

er the reason that, for many 
years, as far back probably as the 
first appearance of a successful au- 
tomatic torpedo, warships had been 
protected, when at anchor, by hang- 
ing a curtain of steel netting around 
them, the public jumped to the con- 
clusion that if nets were a good pro- 
tection for a ship at anchor they 
must be so for a ship under way— 
but that is where they were in er- 
ror, says the Scientific American, 
~So far as warships are concerned, 
it has been found that not only was 
the resistance of the nets so great 
as to cut down the speed of a battle 
ship to five or six- knots, but also 
that the eddies and other forms of 
disturbance deyeloped by dragging 
the huge area of the netting through 
the water, made it difficult to keep 


that it may not long tarry.

sul for the Calgary district, which

the exports to the United States $a
